Download statistics of legal commercial pen & paper role-playing stuff : http://e23.sjgames.com/hot.cgi?company=21748
You can see similar statistics via the "quick links" on the right side of that page.
This is - as far as I know - one of the rare cases where download statistics are shown in/to the public.
Just in case it is needed for our discussions …

Two of my favorite things combined: Stephen Colbert and "Friday". Meme-tastic stuff.

Ever wondered where rights of games can go/disappear to ?
Even banks can sometimes be holders of the rights of old games !
An example is this thread : http://wiggles.foren-city.de/topic,282,-rechte-fuer-wiggles.html
There, the thread-opener says that the rights of the game called "Wiggles" (international : "Diggles") lies nowadays with the "Stadtsparkasse Hannover", which is a local bank !
Because, the thread-opener says, these rights were part of the insolvency assets (right word ?) of the publisher !
Now, I wonder : What are they doing with these rights ? Do they even know they have them or have they forgotten them ? And : Will they keep/hold them until the end of time ?

Oh, well, too late I'm afraid.
Apart from the Sideshow Rex (not to be confused with Sideshow Bob) I already have a bunch of little Hasbro guys, eight in all; I preordered another Hasbro mini and I preordered another one of the Sideshow dollies. But after that one I'll be broke. I just hope they'll never plan on publishing a Wolffe or I'll have to rob a bank*.
Now all I need is find our collective SW fig bag (containing figures from '77 through to '99). Sonny asks for it all the time since I mentioned it, but neither hubby nor I do remember where we put the bag. My 12" Sandtrooper, TIE pilot and B1 Battledroid never left the bookshelf while Han Solo accompanies Sonny's Barbies so their respective positions are noted, but when searching the attic all I discovered were my A-Wing minus the pilot and a nekkid 12" Tarkin.

I can direct you to a German collecting forum
Can you send me the links via PM ? But only if they are Star Wars related ...
Okay, then.

Is pretty amazing that in the image below, if you extend the right edge of the road into the sky, it will hit the leftmost sun. Take the picture into a drawing program and draw a line if you dont believe.
